Full Description
A ring of post pits with a ditch and possible rampart is visible as a crop mark. The land has been under cultivation for the last 40 years and there is no trace of any surface feature left, though faint traces of a circular ditch with external bank show up on a vertical aerial photograph. J B Kenworthy suggests this may in fact be a henge (pers comm IAGS).
